iOS game changer

With all the tools this has, and replications, it’s a major steal at this price point. The presets, and versatility each plug in has makes it a game changer for iOS production. I’ve found myself looking for emulations like some desktop versions, just to realize those are within this, 10/10 recommend.

Edited because they fixed saving. Excellent

Edit , upgraded review because saving is fixed.
Much improved with saving and export options IK has finally paid attention to the IOS version.

Edit : so after contacting IK they said there was going to be an update for the save issue, 6 months later nothing.

Want to buy the full version , but at the moment I won’t, as when you save you get no option to type in a preset name. You can make new folders but it won’t let you name a preset file. The only option is to save and it calls it ‘preset’ If you go to delete a preset it will , but as soon as you touch the preset name window afterwards the app closes / crashes. Glad I didn’t pay out for the full version , frustrating as it is excellent.

Shady developer!

If you buy their $79 “upgrade” , be warned: IK has a habit of delisting software, removing access to functionality you paid for and relisting the same thing at a new price.

They did this once already with Mixbox — charging us $40 for it, a version that had all the same effects and AUV3 support. Shortly after, they removed this paid version from the store.. listed a new free version without AUV3 and expect us to pay again for what we already paid for.

Issues with Logic

This is such a great app, but please address the issue with utilising multiple instances in a project in Logic. Namely, presets randomly not saving. The full version with Sunset reverbs costs £100, so this isn’t an impulse buy by any stretch. You need to sort this out or make it clear that the premier DAW in the iPad isn’t supported.

Great!

I love this and have been using it for a few years now! Any chance we can get T-racks for iPad soon or an update of MixBox CS with new Compressors and EQs added? How about a link feature that turns multiple instances across tracks into a full on console and does it in a way that is easy on cpu? We could really settle the G.O.A.T iOS Auv3 debate right there 😎
